Can a flow start when a tag is added to an order?

Shopify Plus

Topic summary

A user asks whether Shopify Flow can trigger when a tag is added to an order (not a customer).

Current Status:

  • No native trigger exists yet for “Order tags added” (similar to the existing “Customer tags added” trigger)
  • No estimated timeline (ETA) provided for when this feature might be available

Suggested Workaround:

  • Use a scheduled trigger that runs hourly
  • Combine with “Get data” action to retrieve orders containing the specific tag
  • Loop through each order and perform desired actions
  • Important: Remove the tag after processing (or use another filter) to prevent the flow from running multiple times on the same order

The discussion remains open with the user seeking an ETA for the native trigger feature.

Hi all,

Is it possible to start a flow when a tag is added to an order (not to a customer)? I can’t see any way to achieve this but I might be missing something.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, there isn’t yet a trigger for that. When we have the trigger, it will look like “Customer tags added” but for Orders.

In the meantime, you could use a scheduled + get data workflow like:

  • Scheduled time trigger - Every hour
  • Get order data (tags:YOURTAG)
  • For each (using Get order data list)
    • For each item - > Action you want here

Ideally you should remove the tag (or use some other filter in your “Get data” action) so that it doesn’t run on the same order twice.

Thanks @paul_n . Is there a rough ETA on an ‘Order tags added’ trigger?
